you can clearly hear The Jesus and Mary Chain lurking in the background during its nosier, guitar-drenched moments. Yet, it never sounds dated, or pointlessly retro: somehow, it all fits

psychedelic rock and electronic rock

Influenced by a wide range of musical genres including psychedelic rock, electronica, krautrock, dub and industrial, the band's sound is constantly changing, moving between live rock sounds, electronica and minimal techno




21.47, 29.12.12. misc draft 

those who can't play music write about it

a large swathe of Death in Vegas' work is what I'd want my own stuff to sound like

the release of Trans-Love Energies, had me waiting with trepidation

his most stirring and accomplished work to date
used various guests to add warmth to their productions—from fragile or domineering female vocalists to strongly individualistic rock & roll daddies

voice may sound juvenile and green, but it perfectly fits its intimate surroundings

From the get-go, the album's confessional tone is set by "Silver Time Machine": its soft fade-in recalls Spiritualized at their most heart-breaking and distressed while the "she left me" lyrical mantra is made more poignant by some delicate banjo plucking


In contrast, "Black Hole" evokes My Bloody Valentine's immersive shoegaze, while "Scissors" could just as easily have been titled "Teenage Lust."
